Strategic Planning

 

Across sectors, agency leaders and staff are constantly juggling time-sensitive demands from multiple stakeholders. In an increasingly fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like your team has to jump headfirst into implementation and that planning is a luxury for which there is no time. But we believe that thoughtful planning, early and often, can help your team make the best use of your resources and maximize your impact in the long run.

FSC can assist you with conducting a variety of activities related to organizational strategic planning, including the following:

  • SWOT analysis

  • VMOSA (Vision, Misson, Objectives, Strategies, Actions) planning processes

  • SMART goal development

  • Grant proposals and LOIs, for both foundations and governmental funders

Program Design & Development

 

From our years of experience creating and managing public health and behavioral health programs, we know that new programs aren't born overnight and require ongoing effort to maintain, improve, and expand. No matter where you are in your program development process, FSC can support you and your team in making your vision a reality, offering assistance with the following activities:

  • Formative research (community readiness assessment, needs assessment, environmental scan, literature review)

  • M&E plan and tool development

  • Evaluation implementation

  • M&E reports (final and progress)
